HILL HOLDER SYSTEM (where provided)
It is an integral part of the ESP system and
facilitates starting on an uphill slope.
It is automatically activated in the following
conditions:
Uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with gradient
above 2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedals
pressed and gearbox in neutral position or gear
engaged (reverse excluded).
Downhill: stationary on a road with gradient above
2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedals
pressed and reverse engaged.
During pickup the ESP system control unit
maintains the wheel braking pressure until the
engine torque required for start up is reached, or
anyway for a maximum of 2 seconds, so that the
right foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.After 2 seconds and without starting the car, the
system automatically deactivates gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase it is possible
to hear the typical brake mechanical disengaging
noise which indicates the car is about to move off.
Failure warnings
In the event of failure, the instrument cluster
warning light
*will come on together with the
message on the multifunction display.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake therefore, never leave the car without
engaging the parking brake, the first gear and
turning the engine off.

WARNING
During the use of the spare wheel, the ESP system carries on working.
However, you must remind that the spare wheel presents dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore the grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ESP system, the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of the type,
brand and size specified.

TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM - T.P.M.S.
(where provided)
The car is fitted with the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (T.P.M.S.). This system consists of a radio-
frequency sensor, installed on each wheel (on the
rim inside the tyre) that sends pressure information
to the control unit.
IMPORTANT System control unit monitors the
pressure of the four car tyres but not the space-
saver spare wheel. It is therefore recommended to
always check also the space-saver spare wheel
pressure.IMPORTANT Since the system only indicates
pressure values lower than the prescribed ones (see
paragraph "Inflation pressures" in section
"Technical Specifications"), pay the utmost
attention when checking or inflating tyres.
Excessive pressure impairs road holding, increases
suspension and wheel stress and causes abnormal
tyre wear.
IMPORTANT Tyre pressure should be checked with
tyres rested and cold. Should it become necessary
for whatever reason to check pressure with hot
tyres, do not reduce pressure although it is higher
than the prescribed value but repeat the check when
tyres are cold.
WARNING
The presence of the T.P.M.S. system does not exempt the driver from checking tyre
and space-saver spare wheel pressure at regular intervals (see paragraph
"Wheels" in section "Technical specification").

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the driving
wheels (front wheels). We recommend using
Lineaccessori Lancia snow chains.
Check the tension of the chains after driving some
ten metres.IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel
is punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel
should be fitted to the front of the vehicle and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be
fitted to them to solve an emergency.
IMPORTANT Tyres 205/50 R16 87V cannot be
fitted with snow chains.
Tyres on which chains can be fitted
185/65 R14 86T
195/60 R15 88TType of snow chains to be used
Snow chains with standard size
with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 12 mm.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
Refer to the above mentioned table for information on the wheels where snow chains can be fitted.
Follow the prescriptions.

GLOW FLAT TYRE WARNING LIGHT (where provided)
The instrument panel warning light comes on (together with the
dedicated message on the display and the buzzer), when the pressure
of one of more tyres falls below the preset threshold. In this way the
T.P.M.S. system will warn the driver that there is/are tyre/s
dangerously flat (risk of punctured tyre/s).
IMPORTANT If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately to safeguard car
driveability. Avoid sharp braking and steering. Replace immediately
the punctured tyre with the space-saver spare wheel (where provided)
or repair the punctured tyre using the kit provided for the purpose
(see section “In an emergency”) and contact Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.

WARNING
The space-saver spare wheel is specific to the vehicle: do not use it on other
models and do not use spare wheels designed for other models on your car.
The space-saver spare wheel must only be used in the event of an emergency, and
then only for as little as possible and at no more than 80 km/h.
The space-saver spare wheel is fitted with an orange sticker giving the main
instructions for its use and limitations. The sticker must never be removed or
covered. Do not fit the hub cap to the spare wheel. The sticker gives the following
information in four languages: C
AUTION! FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX!
R
EPLACE BY NORMAL WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL IN USE. IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S.
system, tyre and/or rim changing should be
performed adopting special precautions. To avoid
bad installation of sensors or damages, have these
operations performed by Lancia Dealership
qualified personnel only.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S.
system, when changing a tyre, change also the
rubber inflation valve seal. Contact Lancia
Dealership.
IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and
space-saver spare wheel call for some precautions as
listed below.
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with “Kit for
tyre quick repair Fix & Go”, see the instructions
contained in the following chapter.

WARNING
The jack should only be used to change a wheel on the car for which it was
designed. It should not be put to other uses or employed to raise other models of
cars. Under no circumstances should it be used when carrying out repairs under
the car. An incorrectly positioned jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack to lift loads exceeding that indicated on the label attached to
the jack itself.
Do not fit snow chains on a space-saver spare wheel.
If a front wheel (drive wheel) is punctured and you require snow chains to
proceed, take a standard wheel from the rear axle and fit the space-saver spare
wheel in its place.
Having fitted two standard wheels on the front drive axle you can use snow
chains, thus solving the emergency situation.
WARNING
When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of
your car may change. Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly, steering abruptly
or fast cornering.
The lifespan of a space-saver spare wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which
it will need to be replaced with another spare wheel of the same type. Never fit a
standard tyre on the space-saver spare wheel rim.
Have the wheel replaced and refitted as soon as possible. Never use two or more
spare wheels at the same time. Do not lubricate the bolt threads before fitting
them back: they could come loose.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never place tools between the rim and tyre. Check the tyre and space-saver spare
wheel pressure regularly. The tyre inflation pressure is shown in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.

traffic where you can change the wheel safely. The ground should
be flat and adequately firm;
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒Engage first gear or reverse;
❒Lift the luggage compartment panel mat;
❒Loosen the fastener A;
❒Take the tool bag B and go to the wheel to be replaced;
